I'm sorry, but if we're pinpointing a single "point" to Newsom's actions w/r/t these bills, it's surely not about betrayal and about the rights that the bills would put into law

because I see this blowing up, I want to be clear: Newsom "declin[ing] to sign" the other bills DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE VETOED.

the pocket veto _does not exist in CA_, so if Newsom does not sign nor veto them within the allotted period, they become laws without his signature.

News: The Pentagon has sent out its revised rules to reporters who wish to have building access. The new rules say that even soliciting tips on social media is grounds for losing badge access, per a copy I've obtained. More in tonight's edition of @status.news. Subscribe: www.status.news/subscribe

That immigration agent who threw a woman to the ground, prompting DHS to declare his conduct "unacceptable"?

He's back at the courthouse.

And DHS still won't tell us his name.

Till Eckert @tilleckert.com · 2d

I recently reported on an ICE officer who was publicly reprimanded and “relieved of his duties” after shoving a woman to the ground in an NYC immigration court. Well, he’s back.

DHS did not respond to a request for comment.

Updating this chart because the prior version is out of date. With Mike Johnson refusing to convene the House, the soonest Democrat Adelita Grijalva can get sworn in—and provide the 218th signature to force a vote on the Epstein files—is now three weeks after winning the #AZ07 special election.

I wrote about how vicarious trauma can find you when you least expect it, through two experiences that I've had while working with images as an open source researcher.

Neither were graphic.

Both had a serious impact on me.

i hope the replacement of "speaking truth to power" with "gilles de rais level of unimpeachable sexual access to minors" as the main form of license journalists have doesn't have any negative effects on society. probably it won't

I'm shocked. Hamas didn't agree to everything in their response to Trump and Netanyahu's plan (it was framed as a "yes, but" for negotiations) and Trump appears to be running with it. Will Netanyahu?

US president Donald Trump says "Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza."

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE. Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that. We are already in discussions on details to be worked out. This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East.

They’ve roughed up and arrested people for trying to get in ICE’s way. That’s more than complicity. The state of IL is not resisting, it is culpable.

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.
